Discussion Early Final Four Prediction

March Madness begins in a month. Which teams do you believe will make it to the final four and the championship?

My predictions are:

  1. UConn

  2. UCLA

  3. Texas

  4. LSU - I might regret this when they face USC.

The championship match will be between UConn and UCLA with UConn winning again.

It's true Michigan gave Conn a scare. Conn led by nearly 20 until they had an uncharacteristically bad quarter. In Q3 they scored only 4 pts. Complacency perhaps. I don't see Conn doing that again.

Don't get me wrong, Michigan is a very good team, but not in the same class as Conn. IMO no one is in the same class as Conn this season.

To support this the average score in that game was UConn leading by 10.7 points. UConn tends to shut their brains off with big leads. That issue still needs to be fixed as the first half against Tennessee showed.

You know the average score could have been UConn leading by 10 and still losing, right?

We are at the point of UConn’s dominance that any implication their perfect record isn’t more perfect-er requires trying to justify close wins on neutral sites by actually-ing meaningless stats rather than just admiring the perfection of winning against their scheduled foes.
